Apparatus arrangement, condenser tem-perature, and other operational variables are defined by thegroup in which the sam
35、ple falls.4.2 A 100-mL specimen of the sample is distilled underprescribed conditions for the group in which the sample falls.The distillation is performed in a laboratory batch distillationunit at ambient pressure under conditions that are designed toprovide approximately one theoretical plate frac
36、tionation. Sys-tematic observations of temperature readings and volumes ofcondensate are made, depending on the needs of the user of thedata. The volume of the residue and the losses are alsorecorded.4.3 At the conclusion of the distillation, the observed vaportemperatures can be corrected for barom
37、etric pressure and thedata are examined for conformance to procedural require-ments, such as distillation rates. The test is repeated if anyspecified condition has not been met.4.4 Test results are commonly expressed as percent evapo-rated or percent recovered versus corresponding temperature,either
38、 in a table or graphically, as a plot of the distillationcurve.5. Significance and Use5.1 The basic test method of determining the boiling rangeof a petroleum product by performing a simple batch distilla-tion has been in use as long as the petroleum industry hasexisted. It is one of the oldest test
39、 methods under the jurisdic-tion of ASTM Committee D02, dating from the time when itwas still referred to as the Engler distillation. Since the testmethod has been in use for such an extended period, atremendous number of historical data bases exist for estimatingend-use sensitivity on products and
40、processes.5.2 The distillation (volatility) characteristics of hydrocar-bons have an important effect on their safety and performance,especially in the case of fuels and solvents. The boiling rangegives information on the composition, the properties, and thebehavior of the fuel during storage and us
41、e. Volatility is themajor determinant of the tendency of a hydrocarbon mixture toproduce potentially explosive vapors.5.3 The distillation characteristics are critically importantfor both automotive and aviation gasolines, affecting starting,warm-up, and tendency to vapor lock at high operatingtempe
42、rature or at high altitude, or both. The presence of highboiling point components in these and other fuels can signifi-cantly affect the degree of formation of solid combustiondeposits.5.4 Volatility, as it affects rate of evaporation, is an impor-tant factor in the application of many solvents, par
43、ticularlythose used in paints.5.5 Distillation limits are often included in petroleum prod-uct specifications, in commercial contract agreements, processrefinery/control applications, and for compliance to regulatoryrules.6.
